The drive to Xela wasn't too bad. We were warned that we would be driving on twisty roads, so I was expecting tiny dirt roads that wound back and forth, but it was all paved and well kept. I didn't get sick at all, and the views were beautiful.
It was quite funny packing all of us into the short school bus that took us from Guatemala City to Xela. I've attached a picture, but imagine 15 people, each with luggage for 6 months, in one short school bus. It was not exactly the roomiest trip. We stopped for lunch at Subway. Subway in Guatemala looks, smells and tastes the same as it does in America!
We went directly to the Spanish school and met with our families. I am living with one other person from Somos Hermanos. Her name is Marissa. The house is very close to the school... probably about a city block. The house and my room is much smaller than most American homes, but it is nice. I will learn more about my family at dinner, maybe... if I can understand the Spanish.
